several people have wanted JACK to export a thread create call that
would take care of the RT-ness. that way, if you can run JACK with RT
scheduling, you can run a MIDI thread too, with no extra steps. it would
also be useful for people doing FFT in JACK clients using a separate
thread.
i don't agree with florian that the MIDI thread should run with higher
priority than the JACK watchdog, btw. i think the watchdog should be
higher than anything else until such a time as the kernel guarantees
"watchdog" functionality itself.
